VITAMEDIAS
Quando será colocado o primeiro jornalista nacional no Second Life?
Certo, os portugueses são apenas 0,39 por cento daquela população e existe uma muito boa cidadã-repórter. Mesmo assim, há muito trabalho, a julgar por este Journalists: Get a Second Life - and explore a bigger patch:
BBC Radio 1 recreated the 2006 One Big Weekend event on a 64-acre virtual island in Second Life.
Dell sells PCs in Second Life.
Endemol is running version of Big Brother in Second Life.
And Reuters has a news bureau, which reports news in the virtual ‘SL' universe: secondlife.reuters.com.
There are even a number of Reuters news feeds including the Second Life feed available to players via RSS.
Mas há mais:
It is quite conceivable to make a small virtual living, enough to make the rest of the game free, as an SL reporter.
If you can get yourself a decent story and dash off a couple of paragraphs then you can make 300 to 1,000 ‘Linden Dollars' per post, paid by the 'papers'. There's currency conversion to Sterling, so you can pocket what you earn. Or buy up some virtual real estate.
